Axed Dancing On Ice star Hamish Gaman has claimed he was asked by ITV producers to kiss Faye Brookes on last year's show despite being engaged at the time.
The professional skater, 38, was paired with Coronation Street star Faye, 34, for the 2021 series and was engaged to be married to his fiancée Amelia Humfress.
In week two of the series the pair skated to Taylor Swift's romantic hit Lover but Hamish says he refused to kiss Faye - who was dating personal trainer Joe Davies - at the end of the routine.

Writing on Instagram last night, Hamish said: 'I was asked by a senior member of the creative team to kiss Faye during one of our routines.
'When I said we'd both be uncomfortable doing that and I was concerned about the press/social media attention and the wellbeing of our partners, it was suggested that they could make it look like we kissed instead using camera angles.'
At the end of the routine to the Taylor Swift hit, the camera withdraws and the pair look extremely close.
